Matador Records has signed Ted Leo and his band for a new album. Ted has a habit of signing on to labels that eventually fade away, so let's hope that this time his choice has been a solid one.

He's been through a long and storied list of smaller labels, such as Gern Blandsten, Ace Fu, Lookout, and Touch & Go.

"There are so many options and so many opportunities to do so many things with the music that one makes, but I feel GREAT that as I head off to start mixing some songs this weekend, I can say that I now do so in preparation for an album to be released on Matador Records, most likely sometime in the coming spring," said Ted when talking about the arrangement

Ted has been recording in Brooklyn throughout the year at Seaside Lounge.
